Finding The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift In Beacon, NY
Flora Good Times, 197 Main Street.
The beauty of Beacon is the abundance of gifting options it offers for even the hardest-to-please moms.
While there’s no single answer to “what’s the perfect gift?” the good news is that Beacon has something at the price you’re looking for if you know anything about the giftee. Why not buy a gift card if you’re really stuck? Almost all stores on Main Street offer them. After all, who doesn’t love choosing something special for themselves? And you’re spoiled for choice with more than 90 shops to choose from.
We’ve put together this guide to Mother’s Day gifting in Beacon, NY because we consider it our job to make Mother’s Day gift-giving easy for our fellow Beaconites and for anyone stopping by to pick up a special gift. So, let’s dig into the multitude of options for every type of mom.
The floral fan
It’s hard to beat a beautiful bouquet from Floral Good Times (197 Main Street) at any time of the year. For something truly special, be sure to pre-order mom’s favorite flowers or color palettes. While there’s the option to “grab and go” over the Mother’s Day weekend, our advice is not to risk disappointment and order now. Pre-orders can be placed until May 5th. This year, Floral Good Times is partnering with Kelta Wellness Center to offer an extra special gift of wellness and beauty. Pop in or see their website to order or to learn more. Also consider Mountain Laurel Florist (15 Tioronda Avenue) and Raven Rose (474 Main Street).
The fragrance and forever floral lover

The vintage and secondhand hunter
Head to Another Door, the lifestyle consignment store (468-470 Main Street), if your mom’s an avid vintage lover or notorious for scouring estate sales, yard sales, and consignment. Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind pea coat, affordable costume jewelry, or sometimes kitsch artwork, you never know what you’ll find. And mom will feel good knowing she has something unique and special. Also consider Vintage Beacon (478 Main Street), Hyperbole (484 Main Street), and Blackbird Attic (442 Main Street).
The home perfectionist
If your giftee is a tablescape obsessive, loves creating the perfect finishing touches to a beautiful (or imperfect) home, then these stores will have the perfect gift for her:
Sybil (504 Main Street) curates tasteful, beautiful American, European, and Japanese home goods. Their colorful signature felt flowers are a fun twist on the classic Mother’s Day floral bouquet.

You’ll find Lily & Marigold (163 Main Street)—equally new and welcome to Main Street— right next door to The Floral Society. If your mom’s a fan of Anthropologie’s home goods, then she’ll appreciate a gift from Lily & Marigold (often at a more affordable price). Giftable items include Beacon and Hudson Valley themed candles, glassware, vases, baskets, napkins, table runners, and more. Two Sparrows Homestead (226 Main Street) is an eclectic, charming destination for moms who love a vintage farmhouse vibe or motivational wall art.

If your mom’s happy place is a comfy armchair with a book in hand, then head to Stanza Books (508 Main Street) where you’ll find the latest book releases along with fiction and non-fiction classics. In fact, Stanza Books is co-presenting the Beacon LitFest 2025 in June which will bring major literary voices to multiple venues across Beacon.
